"Where have you been?" As soon as Lin Shi entered the house, he heard an old voice coming from the living room.
Lin Shi had a mocking look on his face, but his tone didn't show any of it.
He changed his shoes in the entrance hall and walked slowly towards the sofa.
His tone was full of indifference: "I'm going out to relax. Grandpa won't imprison me, will he?"
Old Master Lin seemed to have gotten used to his outspokenness.
She didn't respond at all, but just tapped her cane: "Really? I heard people say you went south."
Lin Shi lazily sat down on the single sofa next to Grandpa Lin.
Use your actions to buy yourself time to respond.
His mind raced, wondering if his car was equipped with a GPS, or if someone was following him.
Did anyone hear his conversation with Yan Xianjue?
He slowly took the hot towel handed to him by the butler, wiped his hands, and threw it aside.
He unceremoniously placed his legs on the coffee table.
Old Master Lin closed his eyes, not wanting to be bothered.
His permissive attitude...
Lin Shi snorted in his heart and had some guesses about his questioning today.
"Grandpa, don't you know there's a beach in South City?"
“I’ve always loved it and have been there many times before.”
"It seems that neither the person who complained to Grandpa nor Grandpa cares about me enough."
*
So he really went for a walk before coming back.
He is different from Yan Xianjue, the young master who has bodyguards following him wherever he goes.
He never liked people following him.
This is basically the case with all members of the Lin family.
They are suspicious, they are wary, and they don't trust anyone around them.
At least in the Lin family, this habit of his is not at all out of place.
It was even more impossible for his old man not to know that when he asked this question, it sounded more like surveillance and suspicion than concern.
But he still asked.
So what does this old man want to find out from him?
After he finished speaking, he took the cup of water brought to him by the young maid.
He brought it to his lips, took a sip, and then put it down.
His brows furrowed. “Hmm…it’s a bit hard to drink.”
Mr. Lin waved his hand and the butler took the person away.
Lin Shi knew that this maid would never appear in front of him again.
"It can clear the liver and improve eyesight, remove liver fire, and reduce dryness and heat. It is suitable for drinking in this season." After the people left, Grandpa Lin gave a hypocritical advice.
Lin Shi's eyebrows moved slightly, but he didn't say anything, just looked at his old man quietly.
Before figuring out the other party's intentions, the person who speaks first is destined to be the loser.
Of course, he and the old man have different chips in their hands.
The old man has accumulated a lot of power in the Lin family, so he doesn't need to hide his intentions.
Sure enough, Mr. Lin didn't let Lin Shi wait too long.
Seeing that Lin Shi didn't respond, he quickly lost his patience with beating around the bush.
He took off his not-so-successful Riddler mask and gave a blunt order: "Break up with that woman. The Lin family will give her a severance pay."
Old Master Lin sneered: "Lin Shi, with her background, she may have never seen such a large sum of money in her life."
"This is her best choice. It's good for both her and you."
*
When Lin Shi heard Mr. Lin mention Su Su, he instantly put his heart at ease and became even more presumptuous.
He curled his lips in disdain: "Grandpa, what era is it now? You still want to have an arranged marriage."
"Look at this uncle who arranged a marriage, but the woman ran away on the spot after the engagement."
Lin Shi smiled maliciously: "If I were to do something like this, would the Lin family still have any face left?"
Mr. Lin was obviously hurt and his expression was extremely ugly.
Lin Lang’s engagement has not been resolved yet.
Lin Lang was stubborn and refused to cancel the engagement.
He heard that everyone went to work at Yan's!
When the old man was unhappy, Lin Shi became much happier. This was faster than taking a ride on the beach.
He acted as if he couldn't see the old man's darkening face and continued, "By then, the headlines will be like 'The wealthy Lin family has scored twice, and the bride-to-be has run away again.' I'm afraid the Lin family will become the laughing stock of the circle."
"Oh, of course. My dad's incident has already become a laughing stock in the circle."
"Why are you thinking about adding more bricks and tiles to the family instead of trying to save the Lin family's reputation?"
"Lin Shi," Old Master Lin tapped his cane hard and called his name warningly, "She's not suitable for you."
Lin Shi didn't care: "Why is it inappropriate? My father and mother are not a good match."
He kept a close eye on Mr. Lin's reaction.
He has always been very confused about one thing, because his father is also the son of a wealthy family.
Why did you marry his mother?
It would be fine if it was a free love, but there is no love between the two of them.
Rather than being a husband and wife, his mother is more like Lin Rui's personal maid.
Before Lin Shi died, he told him that the recording was synthesized by his AI, but it was not entirely true.
He did find such a tape.
However, a lot of the content cannot be read out due to improper storage.
So there are indeed many things that he fabricated based on existing information.
When Mr. Lin heard Lin mention his mother, his expression changed from ugly to disgusted.
But since he has sent the person to a mental hospital, there is no way he will ever get out again in this life.
Old Master Lin was too lazy to spend any more time on this. He said calmly, "He's just a servant serving your father."
He only said this, then skipped the topic directly, no longer beating around the bush with Lin Shi, and gave what he thought was an impeccable reason: "Her horoscope is not suitable for you."
*
Lin Shi was so angry that he almost laughed.
"Then who is suitable? The maid just now?"
Lin Shi was just trying this without any hope.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Lin actually nodded.
"But since you've already refused, let's find someone else."
"The housekeeper has a list. You can pick two from it. It just so happens that you are going to college, and the house over there needs to transfer servants over. Just think of it as a chance to cultivate relationships."
After hearing this, Lin Shi still had nothing to understand.
No wonder there are so many young maids in the house recently.
He thought the old man was preparing to give birth to another uncle for him.
The result was prepared for him.
Lin Shi's anger suddenly rose.
He put his legs down from the coffee table, stood up, and said condescendingly, "Grandpa, I already have a girlfriend."
His tone was almost word-for-word.
Mr. Lin was unmoved: "I told you, she is not suitable for you."
"A daughter-in-law of the Lin family is either a well-matched lady from a prominent family or a woman with a compatible horoscope who brings prosperity to her husband. She has neither of these qualities, so how could she enter the Lin family?"
Lin Shi snorted coldly: "Grandpa, it's been more than 20 years since the 21st century, and you're still here wrapping your head around it?"
"Why? Because I like her!"
